Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) Services
Comprehensive MVR pull and review services—obtain driving records from all 50 states, analyze violation history, identify disqualifying offenses, and maintain documentation meeting DOT requirements for pre-hire screening and annual driver reviews.
Motor Vehicle Records are fundamental to DOT compliance—federal regulations require carriers to obtain MVRs from every state where a driver held a license during the preceding three years, both at hire and annually thereafter. MVRs reveal critical information about traffic violations, license suspensions, DUI/DWI convictions, and driving patterns that directly impact your hiring decisions, insurance premiums, and liability exposure.
DSC provides complete MVR services: we pull records from all 50 states (navigating the varying formats, fees, and processing times each state requires), analyze results against DOT disqualification standards and your company's hiring criteria, flag serious violations requiring immediate attention, and maintain documentation in your Driver Qualification Files. Our review process identifies not just obvious disqualifiers but patterns of behavior—multiple speeding violations, at-fault accidents, or license status changes—that indicate elevated risk before incidents occur. Whether you're screening new hires or conducting annual reviews, DSC delivers accurate MVR analysis that protects your fleet.

Frequently Asked Questions
DOT requires MVRs from every state where a driver held a license during the preceding three years. Many drivers have held licenses in multiple states, and violations or suspensions in one state may not appear on another state's record. Pulling records from all relevant states provides a complete picture of the driver's history.
MVRs typically include traffic violations, accidents, license suspensions or revocations, DUI/DWI convictions, and endorsement status. The specific information varies by state—some states report all violations while others only report convictions. DSC interprets state-specific formats to provide consistent, actionable analysis.
Processing times vary by state—some states provide instant electronic records while others require several business days for manual processing. DSC manages these variations and provides results as quickly as each state allows, typically within 1-5 business days depending on the states involved.
